| Is it against the law..
Is it against the law to ride a bicycle if you have a blood alcohol level above .08?

i would assume so on the road, since cyclist are expected to follow the same rules as drivers.
Grey area unless someone can say otherwise.

If you're drunk and on a bicycle (or just drunk out in public in general), you're arrestable under the Liquor Control and Licencing Act for being drunk in a public place.
Do you think that having your ability impaired so that you're not able to drive a motor vehicle properly means you're ability to ride a bicycle would be any better? It requires similar amount of motor skill, added in balance and less ease of maintaining a straight line.

Grey area unless someone can say otherwise. | Both Section 253 of the Criminal Code and Section 215 of the Motor Vehicle Act speak specifically to motor vehicles, which a bicycle is not.

Those sections I mentioned above though, refer specifically to the alcohol/impaired related offenses.

We've stopped a guy who was cycling while drunk before. Someone called it in because he was all over the road and sidewalk. He was only a block from his house when we found him, so we had him walk his bicycle to his house and called it a night.

If you were really liquored, you could worry about this:
Drunkenness in public place
41 (1) A person who is intoxicated must not be or remain in a public place.
(2) A peace officer may arrest, without a warrant, a person found intoxicated in a public place.

What about Friday and Saturday nights downtown when the bars close? Hundreds of people drunk out of their minds roaming the streets at 12-2am.
Is it just too much of a hassle for cops to deal with it?

Even being drunk inside a bar is still technically a "public place" since anyone can enter whether the invitation is express or implied.
